RSA decryption problem in C#

[taher]

I am trying to encrypt a string using RSA in C# and also I am trying to decrypt it in JavaScript. But of no use. I have already tried many ways for doing the different things for RSA in both C# and JavaScript but i just cant decrypt my strings. I am using RSACryptoServiceProvider for doing the RSA for my asymmetric encryption in C#. Does anyone know how RSACryptoServiceProvider chooses which key (public or private) to use during encrypting.?? Please help me as soon as possible.!!

First tell me that, can you decrypt in C# using your own code? If not, you'll have to show the coding that you had made. Typically, one does not 'encrypt a string' with RSA in a real app. Typically, one encrypts a symmetric key which in turn is used for the actual encryption of data or one decrypts a hash of data, to achieve a signature. There is a documented interop problem with RSACryptoServiceProvider, you may need to reverse the bytes in the array before use. Another issue is padding, please ensure that you're using the same padding parameters for encryption and decryption. So provide the code for getting more helpful information.

I have provided some code that can be useful for the programs using the RSACryptoServiceProvider.
For the Visual Basic (Declaration)

<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class RSACryptoServiceProvider _
    Inherits RSA _
    Implements ICspAsymmetricAlgorithm

If you are using Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As RSACryptoServiceProvider

This is for the C#

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public sealed class RSACryptoServiceProvider : RSA, 
    ICspAsymmetricAlgorithm

Thank You all you tried to solve my problem. Here is my coding :

public void export()
{
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaExport = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
RSAParameters rsaParam = new RSAParameters();
rsaParam = rsaExport.ExportParameters(true);

fileMgr.write(rsaParam.Modulus,modPath);
fileMgr.write(rsaParam.Exponent,expoPath);
fileMgr.write(rsaParam.D,dPath);
fileMgr.write(rsaParam.DP, dpPath);
}

Asymmetric encryption uses a related key-pair to encrypt and decrypt data.
One of the keys is the “public key” and the other is the “private key”.
The data encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted with the private key, and vice-versa. RSA is one of the popular asymmetric algorithms and that’s what we’re going to deal with in this article. To use the cryptographic services, we need to use the System.Security.Cryptography. namespace Code to Enable RSA Encryption/Decryption

public class Cryptography
{
  public static RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa;

  public static void AssignParameter()
  {
	const int PROVIDER_RSA_FULL = 1; 
	const string CONTAINER_NAME = "SpiderContainer";
	CspParameters cspParams;
	cspParams = new CspParameters(PROVIDER_RSA_FULL);
	cspParams.KeyContainerName = CONTAINER_NAME;
	cspParams.Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore;
	cspParams.ProviderName = "Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider";
	rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cspParams); 
  }

  public static string EncryptData(string data2Encrypt)
  {
	AssignParameter();
      StreamReader reader = new   StreamReader(@"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetspiderencryption\publickey.xml");
	string publicOnlyKeyXML = reader.ReadToEnd();
	rsa.FromXmlString(publicOnlyKeyXML);
	reader.Close();

	//read plaintext, encrypt it to ciphertext

	byte[] plainbytes =	System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data2Encrypt);
	byte[] cipherbytes = rsa.Encrypt(plainbytes,false);
	return Convert.ToBase64String(cipherbytes);
  }

  public static void AssignNewKey()
  {
	AssignParameter();
	
	//provide public and private RSA params
	StreamWriter writer = new   

StreamWriter(@"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetspiderencryption\privatekey.xml");
	string publicPrivateKeyXML = rsa.ToXmlString(true);
	writer.Write(publicPrivateKeyXML);
	writer.Close();

	//provide public only RSA params
	writer = new StreamWriter(@"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetspiderencryption\publickey.xml");
	string publicOnlyKeyXML = rsa.ToXmlString(false);
	writer.Write(publicOnlyKeyXML);
	writer.Close();
}
 public static string DecryptData(string data2Decrypt)
  {
	AssignParameter();

	byte[] getpassword = Convert.FromBase64String(data2Decrypt);
			
	StreamReader reader = new 

StreamReader(@"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetspiderencryption\privatekey.xml");
	string publicPrivateKeyXML = reader.ReadToEnd();
	rsa.FromXmlString(publicPrivateKeyXML);
	reader.Close();
			
	//read ciphertext, decrypt it to plaintext
	byte[] plain =	rsa.Decrypt(getpassword,false); 
	return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plain);
}
}

The key length supported by the RSACryptoServiceProvider is from 384 bits to 16384 bits in increments of 8 bits. You will get this support only if you are having the Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider installed. If you are having the Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider installed, then it supports key lengths from 384 bits to 512 bits in increments of 8 bits. You should ensure that IDisposable is called when you are finished with the RSACryptoServiceProvider. Hope that these hints will help you somewhat.!!
